I am a special ed teacher, mother of one and a grandmother to a beautiful little granddaughter. I previously lost 156 pounds and maintained for about a year-than I stopped working out and put about 50 pounds back on. At the end of January 2008, I deceided I MUST get back on track, I began eating healty and joined a gym. I am determined to get back on track, drop this extra weight and live a long healthy life, so I can be around to dance at my granddaughters wedding. So far, I am down almost forty pounds, 39 inches, and four sizes, my goal is to get down to 140 or to fit into a size 6-presently I am in an 8. I workout at least five but usally six days a week and try to find something active to do on the other days.
